89db apps Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Popular markets, real-time odds, and live in-play betting for every match in BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, and international cricket — all in one place.
Bet across all three cricket formats
Each cricket format has its own character, and the strategy for betting on each one is different.
T20 is the fastest format — results can change within a few hours. T20 betting is most popular in tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL. Power plays, batsman form, and pitch conditions in each over influence odds quickly.
ODI, or one-day cricket, involves much more strategy over 50 overs. Run rate, partnerships, and review usage in the middle overs are reflected in the markets. ODI betting adds a different kind of excitement at the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy.
Test cricket — in this five-day format, odds are shaped by a combination of statistics, pitch behaviour, and weather. Because a draw is possible, three outcomes (Team A win, Team B win, draw) can be bet on, which is not available in T20 or ODI.
Football and other sports betting
At 89db apps, you can bet on football alongside cricket. Football's 90-minute format offers a wide variety of markets — match winner, both teams to score, half-time result, handicap, and many more options.
The main difference between cricket and football is pace and the possibility of a draw. There is no draw in T20 or ODI cricket, but in football a draw is a common result — so markets and odds work differently and need to be understood on their own terms.
Betting markets are also available on sports like Kabaddi, badminton, and tennis, though cricket and football remain the most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors right now. Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines.
7 popular markets used by all bettors
Each market works a little differently — one example is given for each below.
Match Winner
The simplest market. Pick which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI have only two outcomes; Test has three. Example: if you place ৳500 on Team A to win, you receive a return at the set odds if Team A wins.
Simple All FormatsToss Winner
Which team wins the toss — this market has no connection to match performance, and the outcome is a straightforward 50-50. Example: you bet on Team B to win the toss — the result of this bet is settled as soon as the toss is done.
Quick Result IndependentTop Batsman
You pick which batsman will score the most runs in a single innings or across the whole match. Example: bet on the batsman from Team A who will score the highest — if correct, you receive a return at the set odds.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs — Over/Under
You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: in a T20 match, if you bet over 160.5 total runs — you win if both innings combined reach 161 or more.
Analytical T20 FriendlyMulti Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet loses. Example: placing three selections from three matches gives total odds equal to the product of all three individual odds.
High Return High RiskTop Wicket Taker
You pick which bowler will take the most wickets in the whole match or in one innings. Pitch behaviour, the bowler's recent form, and the opposition's batting lineup all influence this market.
Bowling Special Analysis NeededHandicap Betting
When there is a gap in strength between two teams, the handicap market gives the weaker team an artificial run advantage or wicket advantage. This brings the odds for both teams closer together and makes the betting more balanced. Handicap markets are generally suited to familiar formats — the outcome is understood in terms of numbers, not money.
Decimal, fractional, and American odds — what is the difference?
Odds are written in three different formats, but all of them express the same probability. At 89db apps, you can choose whichever format you prefer.
| Format | Team A win (example) | Team B win (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Decimal odds are the easiest to understand — your total return is simply your stake multiplied by the odds. Example 1: a ৳200 bet on Team A at odds of 2.25 returns ৳450 in total if Team A wins (profit ৳250 + stake ৳200 back); if Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
American odds with a (+) sign show how much profit you make on a 100-unit bet, while a (–) sign shows how much you need to bet to make 100 units of profit. Example 2: Team B is the favourite at odds of 1.25 or American -400 — a ৳200 bet returns ৳250 if they win (profit of only ৳50).
Live In-Play — odds change the moment a wicket falls
Even after pre-match betting has closed, you can still place bets in the live in-play markets while the match is on. Every over, every wicket, and every boundary affects odds instantly.
In live betting, the Power Play and Death Overs (overs 15–20) bring the biggest odds movements. In T20, the run rate can sometimes double in the final 5 overs, which keeps the live market very active.
Live betting in Test matches is slower but deeper — a wicket falling on day five or a change in weather can shift odds significantly.
Besides live betting, 89db apps also offers a range of casino games. If you want to try something different between cricket matches, you can browse the 89db apps Casino game collection.
Five things to know before you start betting
Betting is for entertainment — that is the idea behind the advice below.
Focus on one format first
T20, ODI, and Test are three completely different games. Concentrating on one format at the start makes it easier to understand the markets and odds.
Set a budget beforehand
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start, and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment — avoid chasing losses by placing more bets.
Keep the number of selections low in multi bets
Multi bets increase potential returns but also increase risk. Adding more than 3–4 selections at once reduces the chance of all of them being correct.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds in in-play betting change fast — instead of reacting to immediate pressure, take a moment to read the match situation before making a decision.
Read the rules and betting terms first
Conditions for voiding a bet, what happens when a match is abandoned — all of this is explained in detail on the terms and conditions page.
Betting is for entertainment. Winning is never guaranteed.
